Most gifted rap list; rappers Godwon and Sinzu come at each other

You know, everyday I pray that celebs give me something to write about...lol. So rapper Godwon wasn't happy that his name was not included in NotJustOk's list of the Top 10 Most Gifted Rappers in Nigeria, and instead of taking it like a soldier, he took to twitter to diss some of the other rappers on the list. He called Sinzu a bitch. Ouch! Sinzu replied him. See their tweets and Godwon's opinion of other rappers in Nigeria, after the cut...

Personal opinion and with all due respect to other rappers in Nigeria, but I think M.I is in a class of his own. I think he's not just the best rapper in Nigeria, he's the best rapper in Africa. Like, he's not even on anyone's level. He shouldn't even be on this list. We should be comparing M.I to Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar and the likes and not Olamide or Phyno. That's my personal opinion. What do you think of the list? Who agrees with it? Some Nigerian rappers don't. See their tweets after the cut.

Super Eagles captain Joseph Yobo's wife, former Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria 2008 Adaeze Yobo took to her instagram page a few hours ago to send a loving message to him on his birthday. Joseph was born September 6th 1980. See what she wrote below...

"Happy
birthday to my best friend, lover, husband, my baby daddy, my world!
Your so special to me, am proud of who you are and what you've achieved

you. You lay Gold as dust! Your like a tree planted by the river
side.... Your life is a testimony! I love you more than words can tell,
even more than I can show! !#Godlivesinyou#hehasjuststartedwithyou#kingingonanotherlevel#Happybirthdaybooboo

You guys need to read this hilarious interview grammarian and current Chief of Staff to the Edo State Governor, Patrick Obahiagbon granted to Punch. Excerpts below...

Why do you always speak ‘big grammar’?

I am not really consensus ad idem with
those who opine that my idiolect is advertently obfuscative. No no no,
it’s just that I am in my elements when the colloquy has to do with the
pax nigeriana of our dreams and one necessarily needs to fulminate
against the alcibiadian modus vivendi of our prebendal political class.

How did you start speaking in this manner?

It all happened when my father brought
me a teaser which stated that good orators had ruled the world and you
must have to be a feisty orator if you must rule the world. As an
impressionable young man, I alacritously threw myself into the whirligig
of improving my usage of words by amassing new words on a daily basis.

The 2013 Miss World pageant is scheduled to hold at the Sentul International Convention Center in Jakarta, Indonesia on Saturday September 28th..but it won't hold if the Muslim women in the country have their way.

For days now, members of an Islamic group called Hizbut Tahrir have been protesting against the pageant in Jakarta. Yesterday, they converge outside the office of the local organizer of the beauty contest, MNC
media group, warning them not to stage the pageant in the city.

Other cities are also holding protests, demanding that the permit to hold Miss World pageant in their country be revoked, saying that the pageant runs against their culture.

MNC Group and Miss World Organization say it's too late to find a new location but promised that contestants would not be allowed to wear bikini at the
event.

Most stars make an effort to recycle. And Rihanna certainly seems keen to do her bit - by recycling her clothes.

The 25-year-old was spotted leaving the hotel of her rumoured new boyfriend
rapper A$AP Rocky in Chelsea, New York on Thursday morning, wearing the
same pair of thigh-skimming denim hot pants she had worn the night
before.

Looking cheery, Rihanna teamed the Daisy
Dukes with a floral bucket hat, a long-sleeved black and white top and
simple black sandals as she made her way to a photographic studio.

Rihanna really knows how to get her men. A few months ago, Chris Brown tweeted "How can she be mine when she's everyone else's?". Was rooting for Drake tho...

FFK withdraws intimate relationship comment about Bianca Ojukwu

A week after Bianca Ojukwu threatened to sue him for claiming in an article he wrote a few weeks back that he had an intimate relationship with her, former Minister Femi Fani Kayode has withdrawn the comment.

He released the statement below through his lawyer, Rotimi Akinola, yesterday

“As our client said earlier through his press secretary some of the
words he used to describe his friendship with Ambassador Ojukwu in his
article titled 'A Word For Those Who Call Me A Tribalist” were
indiscreet. He hereby withdraws those words

"They were good friends at the time and they had a few mutual friends
who are still alive today. The bizarre, absurd and inexplicable assertion that they were not
friends and that Ambassador Ojukwu has never met our client is patently
false. Though he has not seen her for over 25 years he spoke to her on the phone when her husband passed on last year"

So if he's withdrawing the comment, it means he never dated her, bah? So why write it?

Between BFFs Don Jazzy and former VP Atiku Abubakar

Former VP Atiku Abubakar and Don Jazzy have sorta become buddies on Twitter. It started in early August after a fan asked Atiku why he doesn't share recharge cards on Twitter like Don Jazzy
does and Atiku replied it's because Don Jazzy is richer than him. He was obviously joking but some people took it literally. See his tweets this morning above and continue to see the tweets in August about the recharge card sharing...Oh, and I didn't mean BFFs literally :-)

George Zimmerman's wife files for divorce

Less than months after he was acquitted of murdering Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman's wife has filed for divorce. 26 year old Shellie
Zimmerman filed for divorce just yesterday, a week after she pleaded guilty to a perjury
charge for lying during a bail hearing following her husband's arrest in Feb 2012. She
lied about the couple's assets when her husband was trying to be
released on a lower bond. Shelley was sentenced to
a year's probation and 100 hours of community service.

Shelley said in an interview with 'Good Morning America' last week that
she was having serious doubts about remaining married to George, not because she didn't believe he acted in self defense, but because she was just disappointed. She also said they lived in hiding while awaiting his trial.

"We
have pretty much lived like gypsies for the past year and a half. We've
lived in a 20-foot trailer in the woods, scared every night that
someone would go and find us and that it would be horrific," she said.

She
also told ABC she is deeply sorry for the Martin family's loss. "I
can't even begin to understand the grief a parent experiences when they
lose a child," she said. Shelley and George married in 2007 and had no children.

Super Eagles striker, Ahmed Musa's family attacked by armed men

Eleven armed men stormed the family home of Super Eagles striker, Ahmed Musa, in Jos yesterday Wednesday September 4th. Fortunately he wasn't home as he is currently camped in Calabar with other team mates ahead of the Nigeria-Malawi encounter for the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier.

According to what Ahmed told the press today, the armed men stormed his home around 8:30pm last night, and demanded for his wife and son. Fortunately his wife and son had traveled earlier to Kano. When the men didn't get Musa's wife and kid, they turned to his other family members, beating them mercilessly. Fortunately no one was killed but the men went away with valuables.

Musa's mum had to be treated in the hospital for injuries she sustained during the robbery incident. He said his family is doing well now.
